A Common Household and Business Pest
Possums, while often seen as harmless nocturnal creatures, can become a significant pest in both households and businesses. These marsupials are adept climbers and can find their way into roof spaces, attics, and even inside walls. Once inside, possums can cause considerable damage by chewing through electrical wires, insulation, and timber. Their droppings and urine can create unsanitary conditions, leading to unpleasant odours and potential health risks. Additionally, possums are known to be very noisy, often causing disturbances during the night with their scratching and scampering. In businesses, especially those dealing with food, the presence of possums can lead to contamination and substantial financial losses. Effective possum control is essential to maintain a safe and healthy environment for both homes and commercial properties.
